Q: How impressed have you been with Channing Crowder?
A: "He had a great year last year. And right now, it's great working with him because I'm real comfortable with how he's playing. He's going to get better. He was a rookie last year coming into a defense as complicated as this defense. That's very impressive on the type of year he had. He even helps me out with calls. That's even more impressive for a young kid. He's only going to get better. Right now, we're real comfortable playing side by side. We help each other out. And we only make each other better. That's one thing that makes it a lot easier on me, him stepping up like that. He's a nasty player. And that's what you need from a defensive linebacker. He'll be fine."
